As a Class Officer, I feel that I meet the expectations of a Treasurer and more. A treasurer is a very crucial position for Student Council. Without the funds being properly organized and sorted out, it would spell chaos for the entire Council. Therefore, a treasurer must meet all the expectations given to them and more, which I know I would be able to do. Being a student council officer would be a great privilege, and I would be honored to serve the position. Additionally, I would be an excellent Class Officer, and bring many qualification to Student Council as its treasurer. Since elementary school, I have been shown to have leadership qualities. I’ve always wanted to take initiative and guide my classmates to success. Perhaps this stemmed from my need for always wanted to excel in anything I did. When I found out that there was a group of students that took charge of a whole class of students, I wanted to …show more content…

For starters, I participated in many positions that involve leadership skills. For instance, my participation in National Junior Honor Society as their Secretary. We collaborated greatly with student council, and were very much like Student Council. This is where I gained a lot of leadership and organization abilities especially as their Secretary, which were basically required to be organized. Additionally, I was the Best Buddies Historian, which helped with my sociability, organization, and leadership skills. Furthermore, I attended two years of college preparatory classes that helped me gain a tremendous amount of the skills necessary for Treasurer. This included having to often be resourceful with a group in many projects, how to properly organize yourself so that everything can be easy accessible, and overall creating bonds with different types of people. All of these abilities I’ve gained would greatly help me as a Student Council

    Throughout the years of being a student at Council Rock, I have come to the realization of what a true leader is. A leader is not someone that just plans events, collects money, or shows up to meetings. Rather, this is someone that has a true connection with their peers, and has unmatched passion for what they do. With this, I can confidently say that since seventh grade, as a young adult, I have been shaped into an individual that fits these traits. Since that time, I have been involved in student government,

    “Who’s going to step up?”. “Who’s going to change this?”. People ask these questions everyday. I realize that I have never truly thought about the defining characteristics of a leader. I was given a list of qualities and upon reading it, I proudly realized that I demonstrate leadership. But the important consideration should not be how I successfully match this definition, but instead why I do it. I was elected treasurer for the class of 2016, a student body elected official, and hold that position of responsibility by attending meetings weekly, promoting school activities (such as homecoming), and participating in student council planning and events as much as possible. I wanted to become treasurer because I wanted a say in decisions that impacted our class. I wanted to be recognized as an individual that my peers could come to with questions and concerns.

    Throughout everyday tasks in the classroom, or outside of school, I step up and lead those who need to be led. I constantly find new opportunities to lead others and help the situation any way I can. Every summer the band has a marching band camp for a week straight that we must all attend. Being an experienced band member, I step up and assist all underclassmen and show then where to go and what they need to be doing. Instead of getting frustrated when giving the freshman directions, I am calm and collect and walk them step by step until they understand, something most leaders would not have time or patience for. With many plans to help others and lead within my community, I believe that I have what it takes to be a strong, and powerful leader for the National Honor Society.

In addition, by being a member of Junior Class Cabinet this year, I have learned the expectations and freedoms that are placed on cabinet members, as well as an understanding of what meetings may consist of. In addition, I learned the process of collectively working together in a group to come to decisions and how different people bring different points of view on an issue, which collectively plays a role in the team. The diversity in ideas and thoughts of a team is what strengthens it, and I believe my perspective and thoughts are unique to what I bring to Senior Class

    I believe that leadership is not something that you are born with, but that has to be learned over time. You learn to become a leader from watching other leaders, and also from personal experience. People should become leaders; so that they can help others do their best. They should not become leaders for the title and power that may come with leadership. Being a leader does not mean you get to boss people around by telling them what to do. The purpose of a leader is to guide others by encouraging, showing them the way, and by challenging them to do the best that they can do. I learned leadership through personal experience. In high school I played sports and had many class projects to do. My senior year was the first time my school had a soccer program, and I along with two other girls was captains. As we all know, when a group of girls come together, the drama comes too. All three of the captains had to work together and show the girls that if we wanted this program to be a success and grow, they had to work together as well. It was hard at first, but when we encouraged everyone, it worked out better than expected in the end. Also, in my business class, we had a lot of projects that were mostly group projects. During the end of the year, we had a project where we had to make up a new product. My partner and I were both seniors and it was a stressful time with finals, SAT scores, graduation, and trying to become honor graduates. We were tired and just did not want to do another project, but our teacher, Mr. Brace, did not give up on us. He showed us what to do, and encouraged us constantly every day. He would tell us many positive things and would check up on us. He was a great teacher and a great leader. Leadership may be one wo...

  • I am a Born Leader

    Being a leader for in almost any given situation has been an innate quality that I have possessed for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself nominating myself for leadership positions. My most recent and fulfilling leadership position would be my eleventh and twelfth grade school years when I held the position of Drum Major for Purnell Swett High School’s Marching Rams. Being in this position meant that I had to give up the spotlight of performance, turn my back to the crowd, and lead my fellow band members on and off of the field of competition, high school football games, and community parades. Over the course of these two years, I have learned many defining qualities about myself and have learned how to incorporate these newly learned and innate qualities to my everyday life. Throughout this two year experience the quality that I feel tested more than others, was the quality of patience. Often times before I held this position, I found myself becoming extremely impatient with individuals and situations when they would not go the way as planned or as smoothly as I had planned for them to go. This position taught me that not all situations are going to run smoothly and that we need to make the best of what we are presented with. It also taught me that not all individuals learn at the same pace, the same way, and at times do not handle individuals close to their own age giving instructions on how to complete a task. With this realization, I found myself trying to find methods of teaching that appealed to all individuals as well as found ways of not coming off as trying to force individuals to complete the tasks the way that I see fit.

    Student council elections were coming up, and everyone was encouraging me to run. All of my friends were running, and “the only way” senior year would be fun is if I was a part of student council. I jumped on the opportunity to run for vice president when the sign-up sheets came out. I came up with clever slogans such as “vote fLEXi to build a stronger student body,” and I plastered them along the school walls to make my peers laugh.
